"In general, it went well. Everyone from Huft was very professional. The salesperson could not tell me the brand of water heater that would be installed. I had responded to ad on Angie's list. I should have paid attention to this. In the past, sales reps from other companies could tell me the brand name of the product, and if it qualified for a rebate. The product that was installed is an excellent product, but doesn't qualify for a rebate. The service personnel were all very polite and professional. What I would have done differently is pursued finding out the brand name of the product before it was installed and found out if it qualified for any SMUD rebates before making the purchase. In general, I would give Huft an excellent rating for service. They came back two days later when the water heater wasn't producing hot water, and installed new fuses. The technician was very professional and courteous. As a consumer, remember to jot down as many questions as possible before you meet with the contractor."

"I was in a bind when my Honda 2200 generator quit working. I was leaving to go out of town for the week but would need to use the generator when I returned. They had me drop it off with them before I left and had it all fixed up by the time I got back home and needed to use it. They were great :)"

"Of the five businesses I contacted for estimates, I thought the Bonney installer gave me the most honest up-front estimate (although it was also the highest estimate). Some of the businesses would only give me over-the-phone low-ball estimates that were obviously just for the water heater itself, neglecting to mention the extra components that would be needed such as valves, strappings, expansion tank, and an electrical disconnect box, all required for the City permit. And only a couple of businesses, even one who came to the house, bothered to mention the required City permit. The Bonney installer showed up on time with all the required equipment. He removed the old tank and components, prepped the area for the new components, and completed the installation in about five hours. He also cleaned the area thoroughly when he was finished. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the results. It passed the City inspection. And I also think I got a better quality water heater brand which isn't available online or at discount big-box stores."
Our team at Bonney helped restore flow at this Sacramento home by performing a sewer spot repair on the main line for our customer.  This involved locating the problem area, digging the trench, snaking the line to clear the drain, repairing a section of the sewer pipe, and then backfilling the space to restore back to the original landscape.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In Placerville, you can safely inspect for loose bolts, clean air filters, check oil levels, and maintain battery terminals to keep your emergency generator in top shape. Running the unit monthly under load helps ensure reliability. Avoid handling any electrical or fuel system repairs yourself—if you notice leaks, odd noises, or persistent starting problems, shut down the generator and contact a local professional promptly.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Placerville should consider hillside grading, equipment access via driveways, and compliance with defensible space requirements for wildfire safety. Evaluate whether your property uses natural gas or propane and confirm year-round fuel delivery options. Be aware of any HOA restrictions, historical district guidelines, and proximity to water wells. Seasonal fluctuations in fuel supply and local contractor schedules can also impact your backup power project.

Helpful?

In Placerville, the longevity of a generator installation depends on adapting to wildfire risk, local power outages, and elevation. Prioritizing backup power reliability means ensuring proper ventilation, using weather-resistant enclosures, and securing the generator on a stable pad. Careful attention to electrical and fuel connections, adherence to local noise and setback rules, and strategic placement away from fire-prone areas all contribute to long-term performance.

Helpful?

For generator installation in Placerville, keep essentials like air filter cleaners, 5W-30 synthetic oil, a spark plug wrench, and altitude-appropriate plugs. It’s also wise to have fuel stabilizer, rodent deterrent, a weatherproof cover, de-icing spray, extra fuel filters, carburetor cleaner, outdoor-rated extension cords, a battery maintainer, basic hand tools, and a reliable flashlight to ensure your emergency generator is always ready.

Helpful?

In Placerville, immediate generator installation is recommended if you depend on backup power for medical needs, have a well water system, or experience frequent outages during fire season. If your area receives regular power shutoff alerts or has unreliable grid service, act quickly. For less urgent needs, scheduling installation during winter or early spring can help avoid peak demand and ensure better contractor availability.
